Consume the turkey and you may live to tell the tale.
This week’s Flash Game Friday winner is Knightfall from developer Megadev! This is actually similar to their other game, Block Squad, but with a fun fantasy/RPG theme. The basic mechanic is “clear by group”, hoping your knight can get to the key [...]

Four corners complete the ultimate point gaining experience!
I sincerely apologize the delay! Last week’s Flash Game Friday winner is Fruiti Blox! This puzzle game has you matching four corners of the same color and eliminating all blocks within that space. The gameplay idea isn’t new, but the execution is definitely top [...]

Platforming + Clear the Blocks - Firearms = Bango
Platform puzzler Bango by Torphe is this week’s Flash Game Friday winner! It combines a nice responsive platforming engine with a “clear the blocks” level goal to create a fun distraction from your daily grind. The single colored stickman charm reminds me a lot [...]

Ah-ahh-AHHHHHHHH!
This week’s Flash Game Friday winner is the bridge building game Cargo Bridge! This physics based bridge building game mixes up the tried-and-true game mechanic with fun visuals, an interestingly presented “blueprint mode” (how you lay down the bridge) and fantastic sound effects. If you’re curious about the latter, I suggest just [...]

Once upon a time in a fairy tale far, far away…
This week’s Flash Game Friday winner is Headspin: Storybook! This “spot the difference” game is accompanied with amazing visuals that make you think of the pop-up books you used to “read” when you were little. I find that with the randomized elements [...]

Rat-tat-tat-tat-tat! Pew! Pew!
This week’s Flash Game Friday winner is Retroshoot! This game pits the player against waves of enemies in a horizontal/vertical (it changes depending on the wave) shooter that reminds of “shmups” of yesteryear! One of the features I liked in the game was the fact that the game did all [...]

You spin me around.
This week’s Flash Game Friday winner is Escape The Red Giant! This game combines the rotational space shooting a la Star Trigon with the “see how many points you can get” game mechanic that we see sucking up our precious resource of time. It plays a little difficult at [...]

If I were a demolitions expert, I’d say that this game is nothing like real life.
This week’s Flash Game Friday winner is Cubic Disturbance. This puzzle game mixes a sleek user interface (though selecting levels confused me for the first three seconds) and a very well executed “place the bombs and set the [...]
